It was OBU head coach Doug Tolin’s return to the bench after half a week in the hospital with an illness.

“We got coach back and we wanted to prove that we have improved,” said Bison forward Desmond Griffin, who had 18 points and eight rebounds. “Coach told me to attack and I did.”

“I didn’t say a lot and I sat a lot,” said Tolin, who was also celebrating his birthday. “We played through tough stuff, kept them off the board and we were efficient on offense.”
